Nuclear War

The current nuclear threat level is elevated due to North Korea's aggressive stance on nuclear armament, including plans to equip its navy with nuclear weapons, and Russia's assertion that nuclear weapons are the 'only' guarantee against global war. These developments occur in a context of weakened international arms control frameworks and increased geopolitical tensions, particularly with the breakdown of key treaties and modernization of nuclear arsenals. The lack of effective communication channels and diplomatic engagement further exacerbates the risk of miscalculation and unintended escalation.
